2013 Euclid Napa Valley Cabernet

the 2013 Napa Valley Cabernet is a very concentrated wine with a rich firm structure with great balance. It has flavors and aromas of graham cracker, vanilla, and chocolate croissant. It has a round satiny feel in the mouth and finishes with an orange zest and soft grainy tannins.

This wine is juicy and delicious. It would pair very well with a good steak.

The Earthquake Vintage. We knew how good this Vintage was from the time we picked these grapes but it really hit home when we could smell the wine as some of it was slowly running down the drain the morning of the earthquake. Such a memorable aroma. The grapes are from the Clark Claudon Vineyard on Howell Mountain.

The wine was aged for 24 months in 60% New French Oak and 40% Once used French Oak barrels.
